Visiting USA

[warpedbored 0]

My wife is from China and has been here with me 4 years. Getting a visitor visa for a K-1 beneficiary is nearly impossible from China. I have a friend who called me today who wants to marry a woman from Canada. Since no visa is required to visit the USA from Canada would his fiancée still be able to come visit him during the visa process? Would she be denied entrance to the US because of a pending K-1?

Yes, she can visit. She will need to answer any questions the officer asks completely truthfully. It's possible that they might deny her, we've never had any problems and Dennis has flown into the US to visit me twice since we filed our petition. She will need to bring LOTS of evidence of ties to Canada. Dennis brought a copy of his mortgage, all of his recent bills, his last paycheck stub, and a letter from his boss stating when he was expected back at work.

Like I said...they can be denied, but as long as she brings all of the necessary proof of ties, she should be fine.

I actually flew into the states today from Halifax and had no problems with Customs. We recieved out K-1 NOA2 last Monday.

The CO asked:

Purpose of my trip

How many days

Proof of return to Canada (showed my booked e-ticket itinerary and letter from my employer)

What I did for employment

Each CO is different and any one of them can deny a person if they feel it necessary, but the best thing to do it just as Aravis said above - be completely truthful and bring ties from Canada

I hope the person has a safe trip!
